The classic Golden Dragon gamebook of the 1980s, back in print once more! * * * The land lies in the grip of fear. The king is helpless, withered and aged by evil magic. Arkayn Darkrobe, fell Lord of Shadow Keep, rules the country now with necromancy and vile cunning. You are the greatest of the Paladins. You journey through danger and darkness to face the Lord of Shadow Keep. If you cannot overcome his spells and slay him, all is lost! This is fantasy adventure with a difference: YOU are the hero! A pencil, an eraser and two dice are all you need to embark on your quest. Success and vast riches - or failure and sudden death – will depend on the decisions you make! Oliver Johnson was born in Paris and grew up in England. One of the pioneers of British roleplaying and fantasy gamebooks, he is currently an editorial director at a major London publishing house. His previous fantasy books include: The Last Star At Dawn, The Nations Of The Night, and The Forging Of The Shadows.
